hi. I'm getting the error "-ERR aack, child crashed" whenever i try to telnet to port 110 and check the mail for a user created through vpopmail. Below is the description of the software and configuration i'm using:
Software: Qmail-1.03 Vpopmail-5.3.8 Openldap-2.0.11 Vpopmail Configuration: Vpopmail was compiled with the following options: ./configure --enable-ldap=y --enable-roaming-users=y --enable-tcprules-prog=/usr/local/bin/tcprules --enable-tcpserver-file=/home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp --enable-logging=v Startup script for smtp and pop: #!/bin/sh /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -x /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c 499 -u 515 -g 514 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd /var/qmail/bin/auth_smtp /usr/bin/true & /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -H -R -t 2 -c 500 0 110 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup reports.comsatmax.com /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 2>/var/log/qmail/poplogs & The vpopmail setup is working fine to the extent that i can: Add users to ldap using vadduser Add virtual domains to ldap using vadddomain Delete users and domain etc. Qmail-LDAP is also working fine as qmail is able to deliver mail to the added virtual domains. I experience the mentioned problem when i try to telnet onto port 110 of my qmail-vpopmail server and check a user's mailbox. % telnet localhost 110 Connected to localhost Escape character is '^]' +OK user [EMAIL PROTECTED] +OK pass secret -ERR aack, child crashed Connection closed by foreign host I've checked the rules database as i had found a mention to the rules database being corrupt as a possible cause for this. But, the problem still remains. And what is a bigger problem is that even after explicitly enabling logging while doing a 'configure' on vpopmail, i don't get anything in the logs regarding this problem. Please help me out with this. thanks pankaj. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable. Sign up now. http://mailplus.yahoo.com
